Use‐dependent directional bias does not transfer to the untrained limb during bimanual contractions

Abstract: Skills learned through practice with one limb can often be transferred to the untrained limb. In the present report, we sought to determine whether movement direction biases, acquired through repeated movement with one limb, transfer to the untrained limb. In order to do so, we asked participants to perform synchronized bilateral contractions of muscles in both wrists, followed by the unilateral contraction of muscles in one wrist. In four experiments, we manipulated the position of the unilateral target to cr… Show more

“…For instance, when the target position can be expected with a certain likelihood based on a cue (Gmeindl et al 2005), or from the relative distributions of the target locations on previous trials (Carpenter 2004;Geng and Behrmann 2005;Liu et al 2010), SRTs to targets presented at more probable locations are shorter than those presented elsewhere. Importantly, however, saccadic biases may not necessarily result solely from context-dependent processes that reflect top-down prediction of future actions; they could also be due to use-dependent mechanisms driven purely by movement repetition, as shown for limb movements (Marinovic et al 2018). That is, if a target location has been visited more frequently in the past, then saccades might be biased because of "bottom-up" effects that are not related to highlevel expectations about future targets.…”
